Hi there, I won’t be able to attend the pre-conference workshop but would be interested in feedback from people on how mobile can help deliver content from digitised collections in innovative and imaginative ways either as way to enhance teaching and learning or to promote an institution’s assets, such as special and unique collections – and the challenges too.

The requirement for this is supported by Google’s recent “Multi-screen world” report, which states that “90% of consumers begin a task on one device and then complete it on another device. Smartphones are by far the most common starting point for this sequential activity“.
